Why

Why, why?

How many times do I have to try to tell you
That I'm sorry for the things I've done?

But when I start to try to tell you
That's when you have to tell me
"Hey, this kind of trouble's only just begun"

I tell myself too many times
Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut
That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words
That keep on falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Tell me

Why, why?

I may be mad, may be blind
May be viciously unkind
But I can still read what you're thinking

Let's go down to the water's edge
And we can cast away those doubts
Some things are better left unsaid
But they still turn me inside out
Turning inside out
Turning inside out
Tell me

Why, why?
Tell me
Why, why?

This is the book I never read
These are the words I never said
This is the path I'll never tread
These are the dreams I'll dream instead
These are the years that we have spent
And this is what they represent
And this is how I feel
Do you know how I feel?
I don't think you know how I feel
'Cause I don't think you how what I fear

Why? (you don't know)
Why? (do you know what I fear?)
Why? (you don't know)
Why? (I don't think you know what I fear)
Why?
